Jim Richards Colloection

[Fordfan01]

I know that people have posted their thoughts on which models Biante should make but I think bringing out a Jim Richards Collection is a very real possibility. Richo is up there with Brock and Johnson and is still going strong. He has driven many great cars like the JPS BMWs, Skylines, Winfield Commodores and I'm sure that a Jim Richards Collection would be very popular.

What does everyone else think?

Sounds good... always good to see other drivers and cars get produced.

You will get a few of his Bathurst winners from his wins with Brock though (but these will be part of the Brock collection I would assume).

I think a Jim Richards collection is a great idea, although the shame will be that two cars at least will have been released under a different guise - the Winfield GT-R and the upcoming 91 Bathurst winning GT-R are both 'Bathurst Winners' when they could have been part of a 'Jim Richards Collection', and that is not including the aforementioned Brock cars. I believe he deserves his own collection just as much as Brock and Johnson.
Still, a good idea.

A great car would be ths Big M falcon or the sidchrome mustang.

How about the Richards/Quinn Sandown 500 2002 Porsche GT3 Supercup car!!!

I personally would love to see his JPS M3 from the 1987 ATCC. However, i fear that the cars will have nothing on them because of the cigarette sponsorship (remember the Winfield Nissan GT-R). The issue of tobaco sponsorship has been worn out in this forum, which is why i would rather not have the car, than to have the car with false signwriting on it.

Hi brchi17,
I bought a Richards/Longhurst 1987 BMW M3 from Sherrif minicars last year.
It was a ex slotcar or R/C car in 1/24 scale with JPS sponsership on it.
